Where to go:You NEED to visit the Cenotes. Definition by Google: a natural underground reservoir of water. There are some secret Cenotes that you’ll need to ask the locals to help and guide your way. They’re beautiful underground pools, where you can dive for 3 metres – if you’re brave (as in not me). And they’re full of little friends called bats. Yep.

When in Mexico, if you miss checking Chichén-Itzá out it equals to going to London and not seeing Big Ben (or going to Rome and not seeing the Pope). It’s so beautiful, we took a day trip there to explore all the Mayan Ruins in there.

Where to eat:You reaaaaaally have to go to Parrillada Tulum (I suggest all vegans to close this blog post in 3…2…1…) I swear on my life that you can’t imagine the smoothness of these meats! Simply divine.

In regards food, it’s all around the same, spicy sauces, nachos, guacamole….

Where to sleep:We decided to stay in Casa Santiago, a little residence, with just a few rooms in a very quiet area of Tulum. The silence there was magical ❤
The swimming pool is medium, but enough for the amount of rooms.
The highlight of this place for me was the breakfast with homemade cakes, baked by the owner of the hotel! Yum!

Flight back home:Despite of being Air France staff at the time, I’ve never been particularly treated in this airline, with the exception when I was on duty.
The service is average, the food…meh, it wasn’t cool. – I bet that this being our return journey from such a wonderful place could have played its part, but we were not treated with the same care and attention as we got from Virgin Atlantic.

Top tips:
– Make sure you have your valid Driving License to hand or they’ll refuse to rent you a motorcycle. We’ve rented a car and it was just fine to check out the coolest Cenotes (as I bet you can tell);
– I’ve said before but I will say a thousand times more if that’s what it will get you to see all the Cenotes you can! You can’t miss them!
